There are Holy Sanctuary, Worship Hall and other facilities at Zuiunkyo (24.7 ha / 2,688,172 sq ft) in Atami, five-minute drive by car from Atami station. Meishu-sama started to construct this Zuiunkyo about the same period when he started to build Sinsenkyo in Hakone.
There are 360 plum trees both in red and white that fulfill the garden with sweet fragrance in early spring. There are also many cherry trees, 3,600 azaleas of 40 different kinds, hydrangeas, bush clovers, etc. You can enjoy all the seasonal blossoms.
As Zuiunkyo is located on the top of the hill by the sea coast, it produces a beautiful view of the Sagami Gulf in the Pacific Ocean. You can overlook the Hatsushima Island and Izu-Ohshima Island, and even the Miura Peninsula to Bousou Peninsula over the gulf on a fine day.
The Suishoden (means “Crystal House”) was built in 1954 at the most beautiful outlook of Zuiunkyo. This hall has the semicircular front with no pillars, with an angle of 180 degrees, which provides a panoramic and picturesque view just like “Fusuma-e ”, the paintings on Japanese sliding doors.
